Ding!

I did not have good success putting screws into my wall with a hammer,
either.

DocBook was designed for technical documentation, not résumés or CVs.
That it is as popular as it is for other kinds of prose is a testament
to the quality of the tools supporting it, but it is not a generic
markup language.  XML is a generic markup language and can work well for
résumés; but that is not in scope for DocBook.
